Doctor_Fruitbat posted:What is with this recent trend of politicians demanding that other politicians stop politicising things? It's like their backs are against the wall and they have no options left to justify anything they do, so they just demand that their opponents stop opposing them. It plays nicely with the 'why don't these people stop arguing all the time and just sort things out' crowd too. Like you say it's just a back against the wall, no good response thing. If it's an argument you can't win then try to delegitimise the argument itself. It's the same as Gove going on tv to say "Let's all calm down about Grenfell Tower", it's obvious bollocks but often effective.

Ewan posted:What is the consequence of an amendment to the Queen's speech getting raised by the opposition and passing (obvs aside from the amendment becoming Gov policy)? Is it just embarrassment or are there other consequences? Its a bit vague but broadly by convention it was seen that a successfully amendment should lead to a resignation, this is complicated cause traditionally the opposition would attempt to field a no confidence amendment and its successfully passage would have been a pre-FTPA no confidence motion necessitating a resignation, and the vast majority of successful amendments where of this character - however this kind of fell out of practice and now the opposition field amendments that are usually "this house regrets the speech makes no reference to policy x,y,z" (which is how all tabled amendments this year are constructed). So if any of these amendments pass they aren't explicitly no confidence motions, even by pre-FTPA standards. However the broad convention that a failure to win a division on an amendment would be a devastating blow to an incoming government that would compel a resignation was still relatively accepted that research briefings published by parliament up until May 2016 still maintained that a defeat on an amendment would compel a resignation. In 2016 Cameron faced a back bench revolt over TTIP and the NHS and an amendment was tabled to insert language regretting no provisions had been made to protect the NHS. Cameron folded on the issue and avoided a division by accepting the amendment without a vote with no adverse consequences - if it had progressed to a vote it would have prompted questions about his personal tenability as prime minister but the fact a vote was dodged made it more of an embarrassment than an outright defeat. Subsequently parliamentary briefings have been altered to say that a successful amendment does not necessitate a resignation but would amount a test of strength of the government - the opposition and even those within the Tories could argue that given Mays position losing such a test of strength should compel May to resign based on a loss of personal mandate (as she can resign whenever she wishes) but she wouldn't be compelled constitutionally by convention to do so

Civ 5 had one unit per tile didn't they? Did 6 try and fix that. The game got too easy after that. Military victories which were a challenge to me in 4 became an every day occurrence as the AI couldn't handle troop placement.

Nuclear weapons are the reason there wasnt a Third World War, they've saved an incalculable number of lives. Nuclear devices are the first machines ever to create peace, they are one of mankinds greatest achievements.

It's on sale on Steam at the mo. £30 on its own, £32 with XCOM 2 in a bundle, £22.50 if you already have XCOM 2

Please don't restart nukechat. Also some people are getting charged over hillsborough so we can see how british justice works, in 28 years the council leaders who burned the guys at grenfell to death will be "facing charges" too, the system works!

Thanks Ants posted:Yeah, the pendulum had swung far too far towards the "welp I guess it was an institutional gently caress-up and nobody is really responsible for this". Yep. The only people who believe that (pretty sure at heart nobody believes it) are the people in charge who are running from responsibility.

A few high-profile Hillsborough activists spoke very highly of Theresa May around the time of the Tory leadership contest.quote:Chairman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group Margaret Aspinall told the ECHO she was happy Ms May would be the country’s next Prime Minister. She said: “Everything she has promised us she has fulfilled. “We’ve met her predecessors and no one, apart from Alan Johnson, listened to us at all. “When we got a Conservative government we didn’t know how things would pan out but she has done even more for us than she said she would.” quote:Barry Devonside, dad of 18-year-old victim Christopher , said: “Of all the people we’ve been involved with, from a political point of view, she has been very sympathetic to our cause.“The former Bishop of Liverpool James Jones meets her on a regular basis and has given me good reports.” He added: “I’m a member of the Labour party but out of all of the candidates I am pleased she will be our next Prime Minister. “If she’s appointed Prime Minister I doubt we’ll be dealing with her any longer over Hillsborough and from that point of view I’m sorry but I wish her well.” I didn't know exactly what to do with or think about that information at the time and I'm even less sure now. Broken clocks are correct twice a day?

c0burn posted:I will never get over them making Bettison chief constable here on Merseyside, loving hell drat I didn't know that. the crazy thing is I remember watching Hillsborough on TV at the time because I was a little kid who enjoyed watching the footy, and basically from what I recall John Motson was talking through what was happening and basically called exactly what happen, that there were too many people in that area and couldn't understand why they were still being let in. at no point did he mention crowd trouble or anything like that. the cover up was shocking and the culpability of those responsible clear to see. I hope they get found guilty.

Civ 4 is the best and the Rhyes And Fall mod (or the still improving Dawn of Civilization) are even better if you like historical goals and maps and stuff.
